DEUL, the electrifying trap metal duo comprised of twin sisters Akari and Hikari Minamoto, emerged from the heart of Tokyo's hardcore underground. Growing up amidst the mosh pits and breakbeats, they absorbed the raw energy of the scene, forging a musical identity that’s both brutal and beautiful. But it wasn't just the distorted guitars and guttural screams that captivated them. The sisters found a parallel passion in Tokyo's vibrant rave scene, drawn to the pulsating rhythms and euphoric energy of electronic music. Weekends were spent crate-digging in dusty vinyl shops, unearthing hidden gems of drum and bass and jungle, fueling their burgeoning love for electronic music production.

Influenced by pioneers like The Prodigy and Goldie, they embraced the power of blending hard-hitting beats with melodic hooks and cinematic soundscapes. DEUL's music became a reflection of this duality – Akari's aggressive screams and raps colliding with Hikari's soaring melodies, all underpinned by the bone-crushing intensity of trap metal and industrial electronica. They honed their skills both as DJs, igniting dancefloors with their high-energy sets, and as a full band, bringing their explosive sound to life on stage.

For DEUL, heavy music was more than just noise; it was an outlet for emotional expression, a canvas for dramatic storytelling. They were drawn to the raw honesty and vulnerability of metal, the way it could convey both rage and heartbreak with equal intensity. This passion for emotional depth infuses their music, giving it a weight and resonance that sets them apart from the pack.

From the dimly lit clubs of Tokyo to festival stages around the world, DEUL continues to push boundaries, captivating audiences with their unique blend of sonic aggression and melodic beauty. They are a testament to the power of music to transcend genre and connect with the soul, a testament to the enduring influence of the underground and the rave.
